Engineering Art
by Michael Matteson
A lesson designed for an engineering course but that can be used in a science course where we investigate the physics of waves and how it can be applied to the world of art. Students will design and create an art item choosing from a choice menu of options where they can choose a 2D art piece, 3D art piece, a musical instrument, a theater object (like a prop, light gobo, or stage automation), a video game (or video game elements), or art tools. Students can use household items, CAD, 3D printers, laser engraver, CNC machine, etc.
